Check out our picks, then take to the comments to let us know what looks good to you!

Wonder Woman #35 - $2.99

By Brian Azzarello & Cliff Chiang | DC Comics

The finale to Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang’s Wonder Woman run is here! Yes, the series will continue next month with a new creative team, but this issue is the climax to the three-year story that began with the launch of the New 52.

This series has received tons of praise from IGN with consistently high review scores -- even earning the rare perfect 10 -- and our 2013 Best Comic Book Series award, so believe it when we say that we are beyond pumped for this finale. It’s always sad to see an amazing creative team depart, but it’s hard to be mad at three years of brilliant storytelling that successfully tells one cohesive story. They told the tale they wanted to tell and it was bloody and intense and magical and it reinvented and reinvigorated Wonder Woman’s character like never before.

We have every faith that Azzarello and Chiang will stick the landing, so all that’s left to do is pick it up on Wednesday and enjoy… and probably cry.

Saga #24 - $2.99

By Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples | Image Comics

Saga has been so. freaking. good. lately that it’s hard to believe it still only costs three bucks an issue. After last chapter’s stomach-drop of a cliffhanger, we are frantically worrying about what will happen next, but the cover to this issue has us interested for another reason entirely.

What is it about bounty hunters and their cute/dangerous animal companions that we love so much? If what the cover suggests is right, then we’ll be learning a lot more about The Brand and Sweet Boy, and that’s more than enough reason to get excited for us.

Black Science #10 - $3.50

By Rick Remender, Matteo Scalera & Dean White | Image Comics

Black Science has been one heck of a ride from issue #1 and it hasn’t let up since. Rick Remender’s brain seems to have swallowed a bunch of sci-fi concepts, chewed them up, and spit out comic book gold. The strange worlds and weird creatures are definitely a treat, but it’s the intense drama between the characters that makes this gem tick. It’s a light week for the Big Two, so if you haven’t tried this comic yet, maybe it’s time to take your first lesson in Black Science.

Rachel Rising #29 - $3.99

By Terry Moore | Abstract Studios

What more can we say about how obscenely terrifying and awesome Rachel Rising is? Last issue had a strange bit of fun with Jet and Zoe, and now we’re seeing them team up to solve a mystery. Spin-off series with them as paranormal investigators please?

Terry Moore writes and draws the hell out of this comic month after month. Every page is practically a master-level lesson in comic book storytelling. The art is crisp and detailed with powerful imagery that can sucker punch you with a nasty, unforgettable surprise at any given page-turn. So get in the Halloween mood by picking it up, turning the lights down low, and trying not to wet yourself before you reach the final page.

Sonic Boom #1 - $3.99

By Ian Flynn, Evan Stanley & Rick Bryant | Archie Comics

With the Sonic Boom video game and TV show coming soon, this is the comic Sonic fans will want to pick up to get their first taste of the newly designed Sonic and his friends. Really, we just want to learn the mysterious origin of his trendy new scarf.

Southern Bastards #5 - $3.50

By Jason Aaron & Jason Latour | Image Comics

Southern Bastards is a rough comic book. It’s shockingly violent with its imagery and gruff as hell in its delivery. But just like BBQ that burns your mouth when you bite into it, it’s well worth the pain. Jason Aaron has been killing it with his epic Thor saga over at Marvel, but if you want to see what the writer is truly capable of, then pick this comic up.

POP! Kill Bill Figures - $10.99

By Funko

Kill Bill gets the POP! treatment from Funko and it’s as twisted adorable as you’d imagine. The Bride, Bill, O-Ren Ishii, Gogo Yubari, and a Crazy 88 henchman are all getting figures. We are already planning on buying one Bride and then a dozen Crazy 88s to surround her, taking up the last, precious remaining space on our toy shelf, just to recreate that epic fight scene.

Bloody revenge not included.
